Zříceniny Efesu

Weathered stone panels from ancient Ephesus stand with carved borders, cracked surfaces, and a faint Greek inscription worn by centuries of exposure. The ruins point to the historic city in Turkey where the apostle Paul taught, where the gospel challenged the worship of Artemis, and where a Christian community later received both the Epistle to the Ephesians and the message to the church in Revelation. The visible inscription and fractured masonry evoke the enduring witness of Scripture amid the remains of the classical world. For ministry use, the image serves well in studies on Acts, Pauline missions, biblical archaeology, early church history, and the seven churches of Revelation.
